My Review for The Foyles Bookshop Girls' Promise by Elaine Roberts

Goodreads is really confusing with this series, and which book is which number in the series, so I’m ignoring all that and just going in to say that I really enjoyed The Foyles Bookshop Girls’ Promise. This one sees Rosie as our protagonist, and along with her friends, family and colleagues, she deals with the trials and tribulations of London during WWI. Rosie is working at Foyles Bookshop, but she’s also lending a hand in the hospital. That’s...

My Review for a Skye Full of Stars by Sue Moorcroft

Congratulations to Sue Moorcroft for the publication of her 25th novel - what an incredible achievment. You can find all the details of her other books on the graphic.So back we go to the Isle of Skye, and this time we travel along with Essie, one of the Wynter sisters. We met Thea in book 1, but not to worry if you haven’t read this yet. A Skye Full of Stars can absolutely be read as a standalone. I loved Essie’s story, and, as with Thea’s,...

My Review for Christmas at Polkerran Point by Cass Grafton

Christmas, Cornwall, Polkerran Point, a cute but grumpy man and lots of baked goodies - happiness in a book!

Gemma brings along her own little oddity - she talks to inanimate objects - but do they answer back?! Matt is an oddity in himself, grumpy, introspective and full of...

My Review for Wreck My Plans by Jillian Meadows, read by Samantha Brentmoor and Patrick Zeller

Lena and Gavin....at the beginning I just wanted to bang their heads together - a typical case of miscommunication, or rather a lack of communication! For heaven’s sake, just talk to each other! Samantha Brentmoor and Patrick Zeller were great narrators as Lena and Gavin, both of them throwing themselves into the characters, especially during the spicy scenes - you have been warned! Of course, it was pretty obvious how the story was going to...

My Review for Escape to Polkerran Point by Cass Grafton

This week I took a second trip to Polkerran Point and this time I went along with Lauren for the ride. Pregnant, with no job and no home, Lauren seeks the comfort of her best friend Anna, who has already been living in Polkerran Point for a while and welcomes Lauren with open arms.I loved Lauren; I loved how she really wasn’t sure about Polkerran Point, how she initially missed the hustle and bustle of city life and, most of all, I loved how the...

My Review for Summer at the Little French Cafe by Karen Clarke, read by Lucy Bromilow

A lovely listen from a first-time author to me with Karen Clarke’s Summer at the Little French Cafe. Elle Matheson is off to France to try to find her birth mother, but she doesn’t have a lot to go on. The book was full of humour, great characters, and intrigue! Elle immediately fit in with everyone and they all warm to her. Maybe this is the place she is destined to be! If you are a fan of a small-town romance with memorable characters, a cute...
